Completed projects of the 1st call
The initiative for student projects was launched as part of the new phase of EU-CONEXUS alliance, within a package for Supporting student engagement.
Projects
The initiative involves launching four calls over four years (approximately one per year), where students are required to form partnerships comprising at least three students from partner universities. For the first call, no specific topics were provided; instead, the coordinators of the work package allowed students to propose topics of their own choosing. This approach proved successful, resulting in 10 diverse applications. With a budget of EUR 30,000.00 allocated for the first call, it was decided to fund 6 projects with EUR 5,000.00 each. Out of the 6 selected projects, 4 were successfully completed, while the remaining 2 cancelled their project plans.
